I've had Alltel for a number of years and I can't remember the last time I've had spotty reception anywhere in Concord or Charlotte. It's simply not something I ever even think about.

Extreemly good reception throughout the Concord area, and the entire state. I use my mobile as my primary phone, and have no dedicated land line

Went 3G almost a month ago, and *wow*, it is night and day. So far no missed calls, constant 4 bars of signal, even indoors, and call quality is better, and most of all, blazing fast data speeds. It even works great in the middle of the courthouse downtown, which used to be a major dead zone. Was EDGE for the longest time, with constant missed calls (phone would not even ring or register a missed call), slow data speeds, and constant timeouts. Would only get two or three bars of signal, and would frequently have no signal at all inside my home.

Good reception at home and in area surrounding - mid-way from Concord to Mt. Pleasant. Some spotty areas on Irish Potato (near landfill - big dip in road). Can't get good signal in Lowe's Kannapolis - probably due to metal roof and high shelving

I've actually not had any major trouble with my Sprint service near downtown Concord. I can use it in my two-story house perfectly. There have been two or three times in the year I've been there where a call will come in static-like, but I only have to call the person back and everything is fine. The only times I get a poor signal is when I get off an elevator or in Wal-Mart (Target is fine with reception). In the mountains, I get poor service, but c'mon, I'm out in the middle of nowhere...

I switched from Sprint to Cingular. I can actually use my phone inside of buildings now (the mall, wal-mart, Food Lion), where I could not with Sprint in this area. I also drive in the country alot and I was allway "roaming" with Sprint, now I get a very good signal with Cingular. I am pleased so far.

Very good reception around Central Cabarrus High School. I drive to south Charlotte for work and excellent reception the whole way except around UNCC, but calls never drop. Contrast that with my previous provider, Verizon, where 50% of my calls would drop especially at my house. I can even take my Cingular phone in my basement where the bars are low (expected) but the call is clear and does not drop.

Had GREAT coverage until Cingular merged with AT&T. Now, I drop at least one call a day and often with good signals. My phone also wil not hang up when the call has been dropped until the other person hangs up (it "freezes"). May be my old phone, but still erks me. Customer service is pretty good though, they helped me with a high bill once.

I've been a Nextel customer since 1996. Usually good reception until... the merger with Sprint! Two out of every five calls get dropped. No compensation. No reception inside Central Cabarrus.

Four towers withing sight of my house if the tress were gone... still very poor reception.

The problem is the switch from Cingular to Suncom. I had ATT for 8 years and three phone lines. I got switched to Cingular - switch was not too bad and service / reception improved. THEN... I got switched to SUNCOM. IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE! After 6 hours at the Suncom store trying to make the conversion, nothing worked properly and all of my plans were set up wrong. These people don't know what they're doing. And to make matters worse, you have to wait ridiculous amounts of time on hold only to get someone that can't help you. Then you wait on hold for them to transfer you to another person that is equally unknowledgeable. I am SOOOOOO FRUSTRATED. I tried to switch back to Cingular, but they would not honor the rate plan I had with them when they dumped me involuntarily to SunCom. What good are any utility regulations if this kind of behavior is allowed?

Hardly any service at all. dropped calls, text messages won't go through. but unfortunately, it works in Montgomery county where my parents live. And for the record, I don't know any cell service that is perfect in the Mount Gilead Montgomery County area ESPECIALLY from 109 to denton area.

around winecoft school rd and winecoft elementary school, barely one bar, T-Mobile signal fluctuates around concord, around 85 corridor great, in the burbs, not so great. its not just the phone, I also had a blackberry curve 8320 and switched because of bad signal, now with the Samsung behold 1 EVEN WORSE..in my apartment, signal is zero ( SOS)..$150 a month for what? I guess ill go ahead and order landline service. urgh

If you look at the AT&T coverage map I should have some coverage. However, I go from 2 bars to "no signal" as soon as I try to use it. Coverage is abysmal at best. I have called and was told there are towers all around me that are 3G so don't expect better signal... .ever. I hope Verizon gets the iPhone next year.

very poor reception at my home. Alltel rep said they are working on it for the last 2 years. will change service when contract is up

no reception at my home Alltel rep said we are working on been 2 years

Switched from Alltel to Verizon and we are going back to Alltel. Verizon was horrible for dropping calls. It was impossible to carry on a conversation with anyone on Concord-Salisbury Rd.and in Mt. Holly where my husband works.

Verizon receciption from Mt. Pleasant to Irish Potato is terrible, poor to no reception My phone is not usable and Verizon doesn't seem to be making any improvements. I think I will switch to Alltel when my contract it up.

In the past week the Alltel service in my area is lousy. I can't make a call or receive a call without the call being dropped. What happened in the past week to cause this?

spotty reception along Branchview Dr. from NC 73 until Burrage Rd. Overpass
